Smart Waste Management System Based on IoT

Waste management is one of many crucial challenges across the globe, the fast growth of the population is directly proportional to waste. In other words, more population more waste and garbage. Therefore, using an efficient waste management system can save the planet from assured danger, in addition, an efficient system leads to a clean and proper environment [1]. Since we were able to notice that the waste is on the ground and the dustbins are full in Algeria, we found that the current system was not working adequately [2]. The classic system is not able to cover all the administration needs, such as the administration cannot track the current position of the trucks while collecting, and also without knowing the state of the dustbins, which could cost time, money, and energy. Therefore, we propose a new waste management system based on IoT for real-time tracking of the trucks’ position and the dustbins’ state. We have developed a mobile application specifically designed for truck drivers. This application utilizes GPS technology to retrieve real-time location information of the trucks. Additionally, we have created a smart bin prototype that incorporates ultrasonic sensors for accurately measuring the fill level of the bins. All the collected data is seamlessly displayed on the administration web dashboard. After testing the system, we obtained satisfactory results.
